I got this Reko dress when I was in London a few weeks ago and I really love it. My boyfriend almost fainted at the price tag though!

It's freshers week in Aberdeen at the moment so the city centre is pretty much carnage. My little sister just moved into student halls here over the weekend and my flatmate and I went to a party there last night. It kind of made me wish I was back in first year, and also made me glad I'm not! Freshers week is great because nobody knows anyone and people always introduce themselves to you and chat away. But then after a few weeks everyone settles into their 'groups' and the freshers friendliness disappears. I met so many people in my first few weeks of uni who I thought I'd be great friends with, and don't even speak to most of them anymore. How sad!

But still, all the theme nights they have in the clubs this week are quite fun. I don't usually go to any of the big clubs in Aberdeen but somehow when you are covered in glitter and wearing neon knee-high socks, even the worst clubs seem like awesome fun!

I'm not really sure what's going on with my feet in that top picture, sorry.

Also I look like a bit of a hunchback.

H&M Dress, Upper 5th Cardigan

Today I attended a job interview which felt more like my first day of primary school. It was one of those group affairs and we all sat round a table while they gave us ‘tasks’. In task one we had to pair up and write a story. There were only 2 rules:

1. The story had to mention the name of the company the job interview was for2. EVERY other word in the story had to be 3 letters long or less

My partner was a very pleasant man who was wearing jeans, a white shirt and a red tie (both tucked in). He had lots of tattoos and upon introducing himself to the whole group he listed his main interests as “Myths and legends and stuff.” Despite this statement, he seemed to have an unexpected lack of imagination. Our story was a bit like this:

Jim and Bob had a cat and a dog and a car and had to hop to see the sun. The cat had a hat.

However the aim of the task was not to deliver a literary masterpiece but to get the highest word count, and we won with a whopping 47. We got a bag of minstrels. My partner didn’t like chocolate, so I guess I achieved something today.

In other news, it is one of my best friend’s 21st birthday this weekend and I still haven’t bought her a present! In the years that I have known her I have never bought her a birthday present (there are many, many complicated reasons for this) so this one needs to be extra amazing. I literally have no idea what to get her and no money to buy it with! Someone out there must have a suggestion!

I seem to have been on hiatus for the past week! I really have no idea where all my time went. I was in London over the long weekend with my best friend - the trip was my 21st birthday gift from her.

We did all the usual stuff, like Camden and Portobello Markets and Oxford Street Topshop. We stayed pretty near to Camden and one night we went to the Odeon to see 500 Days of Summer. The cinema was so small, about only 50 seats, and Simon Amstell and Miquita Oliver were sitting right in front of us. It was quite weird because when you see people, especially I think TV presenters who are never playing a part, on the TV you sometimes feel like you know them and if you see them in real life you always want to say 'Hi' and stop to chat but obviously you can't really!

I hardly took any photos all the time I was in London because I kept leaving my camera in the hotel room but here's a rather ridiculous shot of me pretending to be a cat in Camden. Don't ask!

We went out to Koko on Friday, mainly because we'd both been there before and didn't really know where else to go. I enjoyed it because it's a bit different to any of the clubs here where I live and it's nice to hear live music in a club for a change, even if some of it was the Dolly Rockers!

If you've never seen them before they pretty much seem to be just big hair, short skirts and lots of make-up.

Anyway, I'm off with my boyfriend to visit his parents for the weekend and next week I've got lots of job interviews so I'm a very busy girl. Hopefully I will have time for some sporadic posts!
